Christy Moore Messenger Boy Lyrics

(Composed by Christy Hennessy)

I'm goin' to saddle up me old grey mare,
I'm goin' to ride through the night,
Without a worry or a care.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
I see the light in the bedroom,
I pray to God that I didn't come too soon. Two big dogs and a man shouts "Who goes there ?"
I've ridden through the cold and the wind and the rain and the frost,
And the snow and I'm love and I do not feel the pain.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
(Fade out / ad lib vocals etc)
